IMPROVEMENT IN PLNlNG-MCHiNES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 142,495, dated September 2, 1873; application filed August 4, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAlvrEs MILLER, ofthe city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Machines for Planing Metals, of which the following is a specication:

This invention consists in the combination, with a planing-machine, of a stationary workbed, arranged in proximity toits shears, and a tool-holder erected on that end of the traveling work-bed which'is opposite the stationary work-bed, whereby articles of too great bulk to pass under the tool-holder of the traveling work-bed, or too heavy to be carried by the latter, may be arranged on this stationary work-bed to be planed by the tool-holder carried by the traveling work-bed.

that works in conjunction with this traveling bed, is situated on a stationary frame, C, which is supported on the base-frame B, and straddles the bed in the usual manner. j It is raised and lowered to adapt it to the work by means of screws s s, and provision is made for moving the tool-holder laterally on shears gy g,

which it traverses. In proximity to one of the shears of the traveling work-bed, near the end which is farthest from. the tool-holder H, just described, there is arranged a stationary work-bed, 'D. On the adjacent end of the traveling bed there is kan upright frame, E, which carries a tool-holder, G, for operating on work situated on the stationary work-bed. This frame E is arranged on transverse ways c c on the traveling work-bed, and thus it is enabled to move toward and from the stationary work-bed to bring the tool into contact with the article to be planed. The shifting of the frame is eli'ected by means of a screw, S. On the side of this frame, opposite the stationary tool-holder H, there are vertically-extending ways, on which the toolholder G moves up and down to accommodate it to the article to be operated on. means of a screw, N.

Any work that is too bulky to pass under the tool-holder H with the traveling work-bed is arranged on the stationary work-bed, and is then planed bythe tool carried by the traveling bed. Thus greatconvenience is afforded in the same machine for both light and bulky work.

What I claim as my invention is- The combination, with a planing-machine, of the stationary work-bed D, arranged in proximity to the shears of the traveling bed, and the tool-holder L, carried by said traveling bed, substantially as and for 'the purpose herein set forth. j
